Introduction 


DID  you  ever  want  to  signal  an  important 
message  to  a  friend,  in  a  language  that 
would  not  be  understood  by  an  interfer- 
ing third  person?  Did  you  ever  want  to  talk 
silently,  so  as  not  to  waken  the  baby?  Look 
further  into  this  book,  and  you  will  find  a  lan- 
guage for  your  adoption  that  will  help  you  in 
these  extremities.  If  you  know  how  to  give  the 
signal  for  "Arise,"  you  can  tell  one  person  to 
rise  so  quietly  that  her  sleeping  neighbor  will 
not  be  disturbed.  Or  if  you  have  lost  your 
voice  and  must  have  a  drink  of  water,  you  can 
signify  your  desire  by  giving  the  air  picture  for 
"drink."  When  you  are  stalking  a  bird  or  a 
wild  animal  in  the  woods,  and  a  clumsy  friend 
comes  swishing  through  the  underbrush,  you  can 
signal  her  to  "quiet  down,"  and  your  quarry 
will  not  be  frightened  away  by  your  voice. 

You  may  be  away  from  camp,  and  have  dis- 
covered something  that  the  rest  of  the  campers 
ought  to  see.  You  can  send  a  silent  call  for 
them  clear  across  the  valley,  telling  them  to 
come  by  giving  the  blanket  sign. 

Some  friend  may  be  on  the  point  of  divulging 
a  profound  secret,  and  you  may  save  the  day 
by  giving  the  surreptitious  sign  to  "keep  it 
dark."  Indeed,  there  are  innumerable  ways  in 
which  these  can  be  used  to  good  advantage, 
and  surely  there  is  no  more  fascinating  way  to 
converse  than  in  this  primitive  medium  used  by 
the  Indians.  But  we  have  a  feeling  that  the 
most  pronounced  need  for  air  pictures  is  in  the 


school  room.  If  you  and  your  chum  know  these 
hand  signs  well,  you  may  converse  silently,  with 
disturbance  to  none,  and  do  away  with  the  old 
way  of  passing  notes  across  the  school  room. 
For  that  old  method  disturbs  a  whole  row  of 
students,  and  annoys  the  teacher.  Of  course, 
we  do  not  advocate  continuous  conversation  in 
school,  but  there  are  times  when  you  simply 
must  impart  something  to  your  chum,  something 
which  will  not  wait  until  the  end  of  the  session. 
If  you  can  only  get  her  eye,  and  give  the  air 
picture  for  "sew,"  she  will  understand  that  you 
want  her  to  come  over  after  school  and  finish 
her  ceremonial  gown,  and  she  will  not  rush  off 
with  the  other  girls  before  you  can  get  at  her. 

By  combining  several  air  pictures,  various 
sentences  can  be  given  in  this  fascinating  lan- 
guage. Camp  Fire  Girls  will  want  to  say  "Wo- 
helo"  to  their  comrades  many  times,  and  all 
that  they  need  to  know  is  the  air  pictures  of 
work,  and  health,  and  love,  which  are  given  in 
this  collection,  in  the  air  pictures  of  the  Law. 
To  show  how  combinations  can  be  made  sen- 
tences are  given. 

The  drawings  for  this  book  were  made  by 
Lydia  Bush-Brown  and  Jessie  Shaw,  and  the 
descriptions  written  by  Margaret  Bradshaw. 

These  hand-signs,  called  by  the  Indians  "air 
pictures,"  have  been  gleaned  from  "Indian  Sign 
Language,"  by  W.  P.  Clark  (now  out  of 
print),  and  from  the  tenth  report  of  the  Bureau 
of  Ethnology.

pointing  to  right  and  index  finger  to  left,  almost  in  a  horizontal  plane,  the 

remaining    fingers    closed    over    the    palm.      This    combines    the    sign    for 

"think"  or  drawn  from  the  heart  and  to  "know." 


BE  TRUSTWORTHY 

Fig.  I.  Right  hand  near  chin  with  index  finger  pointing  front.  Move 
hand  forward.  This  is  the  sign  for  "true"  and  means  straight  from  the

Figs.  II  and  III.    Same  as  Figs.  II  and  III  under  "Pursue  Knowledge,"  the 
sign  for  "know"  combining  "heart"  and  "know"  means  "remember." 
Fig.  IV.     Right   hand   held  with  back  toward  face,  index  and  middle   fin-

closed.     Move  hand  from  right  to  leTt  in  spiral  upwards.     This  is  the  sign 
for  "strength."    There  is  the  idea  of  bravery  in  this  sign.

palms  outward,  having  described  a  circle  with  this  motion.  Then  hold  the  hands  open  with  palms  up  and 
ringers  pointing  front,  just  below  the  chest,  and  move  both  hands  by  wrist  action  to  the  left  and  then  to  the 
right.    This  represents  handing  words  from  one  to  another.

finger  of  the  right  hand  resting  horizontally  on  the  tip  of  the  left  forefinger.  Then  raise  the  right  hand 
slightly  to  show  that  the  night  is  lifting,  but  the  sun  has  not  yet  appeared. 

(Little.)      Hold  the  right  hand  forward  and  to  the  right,  the  ends  of  the  thumb  and  forefinger

(Brave.)  Hold  the  closed  left  hand  with  back  to  the  front  and  left.  Bring  the  closed  right  hand  above  and  in 
front  o£  it  with  back  to  the  front  and  right.  Strike  downward  so  that  the  second  joints  of  the  right  hand  almost  touch  the 
knuckles  of  the  left  hand. 

33.  FLOWER.  (Grass.)  Hold  the  right  hand  near  the  ground  with  palm  in  and  fingers  pointing  upward.  Raise 
the  hand.

hand,  and  close  the  other  fingers.  Then  turn  the  hands  so  that  the  thumbs  and  forefingers  point  down.  Turn  the  hands 
so  that  the  thumbs  and  forefingers  point  up  and  the  little  fingers  touch  underneath  them.  This  represents  the  opening 
of  a  flower.

tions, and  one's  imagination  can  play  upon  them 
very  happily.  For  instance,  to  describe  a  white 
man's  city  of  sky-scrapers,  one  can  make  the 
Indian  sign  for  tepee,  and  then  bringing  the 
hand  above  the  place  where  the  tepee  sign  was 
made,  after  which  another  tepee  sign  is  made 
higher  than  the  first,  and  this  repeated  until  one 
is  reaching  as  high  as  he  can.  People  are  some- 
times quite  slow  to  see  the  air  picture,  but  they 
enjoy  the  aptness  of  it  when  it  is  explained. 

Local  hand-signs  will  suggest  themselves  to 
fit  occasions  and  subjects  that  are  not  treated  of 
in  this  book,  once  the  spirit  of  the  sign-language 
is  caught.  Uncorking  a  bottle,  playing  a  violin, 
ironing  clothes  and  a  hundred  doings  of  every- 
day life  lend  themselves  to  air-picturing  to-day 
just  as  lightning,  song  and  other  things  the  In- 
dians saw  and  did  were  given  signs  by  them. 

The  best  way  to  make  air  pictures  a  part  of 
one's  self  is  to  learn  a  short  sentence  at  a  time, 
and  then  try  it  out  on  someone  quickly,  and  so 
fix  the  impression  in  memory  while  interest  is 
warm.

Discovery  of  a  party 


1.  TWO  FIRES.  Two  fires  built  a  short  distance  apart,  each  sending  up  a  column  of  smoke,  announce 
the  success  of  a  party.    It  is  useful  in  a  mountainous  or  forest-covered  country  to  know  this  signal. 

2.  TO  ATTRACT  ATTENTION  WITH  SMOKE.  Build  a  fire  of  dry  wood  without  bark,  so 
that  it  will  not  smoke  much  at  first.  Then  add  to  the  fire  brush  or  evergreens.  By  holding  a  blanket  over 
the  fire  and  lifting  it  at  intervals,  the  smoke  rises  in  puffs,  and  people  watching  from  a  distant  point  may  know 
that  you  wish  to  signal  something  of  importance  to  them. 

3.  TO  TELL  OF  THE  DISCOVERY  OF  A  PARTY.  Hold  the  blanket  by  the  corners,  the  right 
hand  being  directly  in  front  and  horizontal  with  the  shoulders,  and  the  left  hand  being  by  the  right  shoulder. 
Then  swing  the  right  hand  out  at  the  side,  still  horizontal  with  the  shoulder.  Next  bring  the  right  hand  to 
the  left  shoulder,  folding  the  blanket  to  the  reverse  side. 


4.  TO  ATTRACT  ATTENTION  OR  TO  QUESTION  WITHOUT  SMOKE.  Holding  the 
blanket  by  the  corners,  extend  the  arms  forward  and  upward.  Swing  the  arms  in  a  big  vertical  curve  to  the 
right,  so  that  the  right  hand  nearly  touches  the  ground  and  the  left  is  held  high.  Then  carry  the  right  hand 
up  and  the  left  down,  repeating  this  several  times.

5.  TO  REQUEST  ONE  OF  A  NUMBER  TO  COME  NEAR.  Again  extend  the  arms  forward 
and  upward,  holding  the  blanket  by  the  corners.  Bend  the  body  forward  several  times.  Raise  the  right  hand, 
holding  one  corner  of  the  blanket  and  with  the  left  hand  hold  the  blanket  together  near  the  middle.  Then 
give  the  sign  for  "come,"  extending  the  arms  to  the  front,  and  bringing  the  right  hand  in  toward  the  body. 


6.  TO  REQUEST  ALL  OF  A  PARTY  TO  COME  NEAR.  Extend  arms  forward  and  upward, 
holding  the  blanket  by  the  corners.  Bend  the  body  forward  several  times.  Lower  the  arms  until  they  are 
horizontal  with  the  shoulders,  bringing  the  hands  close  together.  Carry  the  right  hand  in  toward  the  body, 
thus  signifying  "come."

7.  DO  NOT  COME  NEAR,  or  NO.  Holding  the  blanket  by  the  corners,  extend  the  arms  forward, 
and  bring  the  left  hand  to  the  right  shoulder  and  the  right  hand  beyond  the  left  shoulder.  Bring  the  right 
hand  forward  and  to  the  right,  keeping  it  horizontal.    Repeat  the  last  two  motions. 


3.  A  GREAT  MANY.     Extend  the  arms  forward  and  upward,  holding  the  blanket  by  the  corners. 
Drop  the  hands.    Then  raise  them  a  little  and  bring  them  together  in  front  of  the  body.
